Investigation was ordered by AG Eric Holder

A Justice Department civil rights investigation has concluded that the Ferguson Police Department and the city's municipal court engaged in a "pattern and practice" of discrimination against African-Americans, targeting them disproportionately for traffic stops, use of force, and jail sentences, according to a U.S. law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

The probe is the result of an investigation ordered by Attorney General Eric Holder after the police shooting that killed Michael Brown last summer.

Among the findings, reviewed by CNN: from 2012 to 2014, 85% of people subject to vehicle stops by Ferguson police were African-American; 90% of those who received citations were black; and 93% of people arrested were black. This while 67% of the Ferguson population is black.

In 88% of the cases in which the Ferguson police reported using force, it was against African-Americans. During the period 2012-2014 black drivers were twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during traffic stops, but 26% less likely to be found in possession of contraband.

Blacks were disproportionately more likely to be cited for minor infractions: 95% of tickets for "manner of walking in roadway," essentially jaywalking, were against African-Americans. Also, 94% of all "failure to comply" charges were filed against black people.

The findings in the investigation are expected to be made public as soon as Wednesday, and the Justice Department is expected to pursue a court-supervised consent decree that requires the city of Ferguson to make changes to its police and courts.

According to the findings, reviewed by CNN, African-Americans were 68% less likely to have their cases dismissed by a Ferguson municipal judge, and were overwhelmingly more likely to be arrested during traffic stops solely for an outstanding warrant by the Ferguson courts.

The investigators found evidence of racist jokes being sent around by Ferguson police and court officials. One November 2008 email read in part that President Barack Obama wouldn't likely be President for long because "what black man holds a steady job for four years."

Another jokes that made the rounds on Ferguson government email in May 2011 said: "An African American woman in New Orleans was admitted into the hospital for a pregnancy termination. Two weeks later she received a check for $3,000. She phoned the hospital to ask who it was from. The hospital said: 'Crimestoppers.'"

Ferguson officials said in a statement that they were still reviewing the findings, and would make a statement on Wednesday.

"I saw a woman in a black SUV pull over and she was kind of frantic on the phone. I was wondering what was going on, maybe there was an accident. Next thing you know the emergency crews vehicles, trauma hawk, ambulance," said Scott Mearns, a food vendor who was set up nearby.

Investigators with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said the victim is a white or Hispanic woman between 40 and 60 years-old.

They said she has had both hips surgically replaced and is missing the middle finger on her left hand.

Detectives said the missing finger is an old wound.

The victim, whose name and condition have not been released, was also wearing a charm on a necklace.

Pretty standard commercials, but what's different is the content that comes after. In this case, they're all followed by ISIS and jihadi videos.

Terrorism analyst Mubin Shaikh said one video is part of an ongoing propaganda series that ISIS produces and another is a jihadi-themed video.

Video sites like YouTube sell ad time to companies, and the ads get automatically inserted before the videos play. Advertisers don't directly control where their ads are placed although they can specify the demographics they'd like to target.

"From a contract perspective, these corporations that are paying lots of money to get YouTube clicks may not be that pleased when they find out that their video is placed right before an ISIS recruitment video," legal analyst Danny Cevallos said.

Though some videos may not violate YouTube's policy against inciting violence, they might not be appropriate for advertising.

It's almost impossible to know how many companies' ads have run before videos like this, but at least two companies were unhappy with the content pairing.

"We were unaware that one of our ads ran in conjunction with this video," a vice president of consumer connections at Anheuser-Busch told CNNMoney after reviewing one of the videos that played one of its ads. "We have strict guidelines with our media partners that govern when and how our ads appear. We are working with YouTube and our media buying agency, Mediacom, to understand and rectify the matter."

"Our ads should not have appeared and we're working with YouTube to understand how it happened and to avoid it happening again," said Paul Fox, director of corporate communications at Procter & Gamble.

Johnson & Johnson did not respond to CNNMoney's request for comment.

An industry analyst says YouTube would make around $10 per thousand clicks on these types of ads. A person familiar with YouTube's business model says the company didn't make money from these specific ads. If they had, profits would have have been sent back to the advertisers.

YouTube says it removes any content that incites violence and is careful about placing ads.

"We also have stringent advertising guidelines, and work to prevent ads appearing against any video, channel or page once we determine that the content is not appropriate for our advertising partner," a spokesperson for YouTube said.

Regardless of stringent advertising guidelines, YouTube relies heavily on its community to flag content. With 300 hours of content a minute uploaded, some may fall through the cracks.

Since CNNMoney reached out, the ISIS related video has been taken down. The other video remains online but ads have been removed.

Federal agents on Tuesday raided more than three-dozen "maternity hotels" in Southern California where foreign pregnant women allegedly give birth for the sole purpose of having a U.S.-citizen baby, authorities said.

The "maternity tourism" sites included apartment complexes in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties where authorities believe the businesses housed the foreign nationals about to give birth, federal officials said.

Those targeted residences are believed to have catered largely to women from China, who paid $15,000 to $50,000 for lodging, transportation and food, according to a statement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Those fees don't necessarily include medical care, authorities said.

Authorities are looking for evidence of bringing in and harboring of undocumented visitors; conspiracy, fraud and misuse of visas and permits; tax evasion and false tax returns; and willful failure to file report of foreign bank and financial accounts, court papers said.

"Based on the results of the investigations to date, it appears the women pay cash for prenatal visits and the actual delivery," U.S. authorities said. "As part of the package, clients were promised they would receive Social Security numbers and U.S. passports for their infants, which the mothers would take with them when they left the U.S."

Even trips to Disneyland

Some of the packages included recreational trips to Disneyland, shopping malls and even to a firing range, authorities said.

"Any women encountered at the search locations will be interviewed and those identified as potential material witnesses will be directed when and where to report for further questioning," authorities said Tuesday.

Investigators weren't expected Tuesday to comment further on the outcome of the raids, said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice.

The purported tourism businesses promoted themselves on the Internet and through social media, authorities said. One firm in Rancho Cucamonga, California, advertised in Chinese and branded itself as "You Win USA Vacation Resort."

Operators of that firm couldn't be immediately reached for comment Tuesday.

CNN Money story cited in court papers

Pregnant Chinese women have been flocking to the United States to give birth, lured because the country grants American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, CNN Money reported last month.

That CNN Money account was cited in an affidavit filed Monday in a federal California court by Homeland Security Investigation agent Eric Blair, who asked a judge for a warrant to search Rancho Cucamonga apartment buildings for large sums of cash and evidence of contraband and a crime.

The judge granted the warrant.

"Perpetrators of visa fraud schemes typically charge $40,000 to $60,000, which is a fee able to be paid by the wealthy in China," Blair stated in court papers.

In 2012, about 10,000 Chinese women gave birth in the United States, more than double the 4,200 in 2008, according to Chinese state media.

Flying through Vegas

Blair alleged that the birthing houses "will generally advise foreign national clients to fly to tourism points of entry such as Hawaii or Las Vegas and to avoid traveling directly to Los Angeles International Airport. This advice is due to heightened security by (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) officials at LAX based on the volume of fraudulent visas and false statements and entry documents that CPB officials have experienced over the last decade related to birth tourism."

One operator of the alleged maternity tourism schemes in California was providing bank statements claiming he had monthly gross receipts of $213,968.79 and an annual income of $1,283,812.74, Blair said in court papers. Those bank statements were provided by an Internal Revenue Service special agent, Blair said.

Many of the families want an American child because a foreign passport could be the family's ticket out of China if they grow weary of pollution or food safety scares. President Xi Jinping's widespread anti-corruption campaign has given rich Chinese yet another reason to be on edge.

"If things become economically or politically uncertain in one's country of origin, the children have a place to come to," Leti Volpp, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, told CNN Money last month.

The children can "then sponsor their parents when they turn 21," Volpp said.

The desire to leave China is especially pronounced among the wealthy. Almost two-thirds of Chinese with more than 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) in the bank have emigrated, or are planning to, according to a Hurun report released last year.

One advertisement for a Hacienda Heights location "claims that the apartments are extremely suitable for expectant mothers and their accompanying families," Blair said in court documents. "The apartment will allow expectant mothers to experience the American lifestyle during their stay."

One mother's account

In an interview with CNN Money in February, Felicia He, 27, said she paid tens of thousands of dollars to give birth in California.

That interview occurred well before Tuesday's federal announcement of raids.

"I started getting ready for the trip around the end of my first trimester," He said. "I asked my friends who have given birth before in the U.S. for a doctor recommendation; then I found a place to stay in the area for a few months, and purchased my plane ticket."

He, who gave birth last year, said a U.S. passport for her baby means access to better education opportunities. Foreign status opens the door to exclusive international schools in Beijing, where she lives with her husband, and the option for the child to study abroad for high school and college.

There is one catch, though. Getting a U.S. passport for a baby means the child will eventually be responsible for U.S. taxes.
